Duplicated Bridal Presents.

A social problem, which has been for years
a weighty one, has at length met solution
in Washington-How can the duplication of
bridal presents be avoided? At a recent we'd
ding at the capital the friends of the bride
sent her mementoes in the shape of cash.
Ten dollar gold pieces, in sums ranging from
$40 to $500, were considered appropriate and
welcome presents heyoung couple could thus
buy what they chose with the money That
such precedent will meet with the recogni-
ton it deserves is doubtful. There is some
thing unsentimental about cash which will
doubtless offend the aesthetic taste of society.
But to those who have at their marriage been
overwhelmed with half dozen after dinner
coffee sets, eight or ten salad dishes, six or
seven oil lamps and innumerable cut glass
pitchers, the idea of $40 gold pieces appeals
with resistless fascination. Young people
about to wed may not be grasping, but they
are not so overcome by sentiment that they
do not realize the superiority of Doodle over
brio Washington Letter.

How Mirrors Are Silvered.

Silvering mirrors is an unhealthy en-
ployment, and the men cannot work at it
more than two Or three hours daily. They
must be strictly temperate and abstain
from all use of alcoholic drinks. They
need nerves of steel to be able to endure
the horribly ear splitting. penetrating
sounds of the grinding room. Another
process less dangerous is used in making
mirrors called the patent back A solu-
ton of colorless liquid is poured over the,
glass, which is laid on table and steamed
for a time. Then after the mirror is de-
veloped the back is painted with dark
red paint, applied with soft cancels hair
brushes. 1t is quite simple and quickly
accomplished, but is only used in the
cheap grades of glass mirrors. Chicago
